Hall of Fame: Cheesiest Set
After writing about the first sets to contain cheese slope pieces in Origins, I started wondering which set had the most of those tiny little parts. Today’s Brick Fanatics Hall of Fame entrant blows all other sets completely out of the water, when looking to see which release claims the title of cheesiest set. As a piece, the cheese slope – officially titled Slope 30 1 x 1 x 2/3 – is everywhere, included in almost ever
Crushing the competition with a total count of 585 cheese slopes is 10214 Tower Bridge. The cheesy statistics on this set are truly astounding – 556 them are the same color, tan. With a total piece count of 3991, 15% of this sets parts are cheese slopes in different colors. A quick look at 10214 reveals how the bridge scored so many of this particular component – most of its distinctive architectural features have been achieved with SNOT techniques using cheese slopes. The corners of the towers, their pinnacles, the miniature vehicles, all take a share of those 585 tiny parts.
